Just tried it with

b = \ 'füsakdfpüasdkfpoasdjfpajjasdpfojapsdjfapsdjfölasjdflahsdfklhasdklfjhaslkd jf halsdkfjhasdf\ füsakdfpüasdkfpoasdjfpajjasdpfojapsdjfapsdjfölasjdflahsdfklhasdklfjhaslkdj fh alsdkfjhasdf\ [repeated very often] '

congratulations. I can assure you my problem is real.

No doubt, it was meant as a pointer for debugging .

What version of Zope are you running? I forgot to mention this is on 2.3.1b1, maybe it has since been fixed?

2.3.1, but perhaps (?) the content of the script also matters. If you would like to send it I could try. cheers, oliver
